    "No deaths, no injuries." I seriously doubt that is the case for the wildlife that inhabits those forests. My heart breaks for them. Those living creatures did nothing to deserve this fate. 💔

    How is it a wildfire if someone started it? Wouldn't it just be a fire?

    So we have a picture of the guy? And his family must be so pleased So this person needs to be tagged with some kind of device. Yes, he goes to Prison for several years obviously can't pay the Fire worker's out on the line. However, what N. California City should do is put a LIEN on him. If ever he should fall into money, want to buy a house, or should he win in Lottery he would have to pay the LIEN first pay the City!!! The City of N. CA should do that for reimbursement.

    Whoever starts a wildfire should never see freedom again.
  • What we really need to be asking is why did he push a flaming car down a ravine? Why would somebody need to burn a car? 🤔 There's something else going on here that I think he was trying to cover up by burning the car.
  • One man, one horrible event has destroyed so much. Nothing he can do to compensate for is actions— it is sickening. The wildlife, fire fighters pay a price

    I bet California wished that they still had the Death Penalty!

    Sometimes people who want temporary firefighting work start these fires.

    Even if no one cause it, there are still wildfires.

    Fine California for air pollution.

    Why no name is given is not healthy or helpful to stop conspiracy crude from happening 🙄
